Better yet, these foods and supplements go beyond simply reversing the effects of aging and improving the look and feel of your skin. <\/span><\/p>\n

They will also boost energy levels, improve your memory and focus and in many cases, they\u2019ll even help you fight off disease!<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you ready to get on the path towards looking and feeling younger than you have in years?<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin!<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Forever Young<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

There may not be such a thing as a foundation of youth, but the foods and supplements featured in this chapter will quickly help you get on the path towards looking and feeling younger.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we are what we eat<\/em>, it\u2019s time to take a serious look at your diet and the type of foods you\u2019ve been consuming that may contribute to lack of energy, brain fog, wrinkles and bad skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of processed foods that leave your skin dry and wrinkled, stock up on these expert-recommended ingredients next time you\u2019re out grocery shopping and begin the transformation!<\/span><\/p>\n

Sesame Seeds<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Surprising? It shouldn\u2019t be. Sesame seeds are high in calcium and rich in many other minerals including magnesium, iron and fiber – <\/span>all of which support healthy bones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pineapples<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Pineapple includes a powerful mineral called manganese which activates the prolidase enzyme, which helps with the formation and increased production of collagen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why does collagen matter so much?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

An added boost of collagen production (that\u2019s created by the amino acid proline that comes from pineapple) will give you an immediate improvement in skin strength and elasticity which will make you look youthful and toned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dark Chocolate<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Not only is dark chocolate loaded with anti-aging benefits, but it\u2019s <\/span>great as a replacement for sugary cravings if you\u2019re trying to cut carbs and lose weight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dark chocolate is packed with flavanols, which are known to increase blood flow to the skin which improves overall circulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an added benefit, because of the flavanols found in dark chocolate, and their ability to absorb UV radiation, you\u2019ll be able to protect your skin from the damaging effects of sun exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Blueberries<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the top power berries of them all, blueberries contain more antioxidants than nearly any other fruit! Better yet, they also reduce skin damage caused by sun exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there\u2019s yet another reason to incorporate blueberries into your daily diet: they contain high levels of Vitamin C which works to prevent wrinkles and smooth fine lines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/u><\/strong> Blueberries are also known to help protect your skin from emotional stress and even over exercising and the dark purple seeds from Concord grades are filled with polyphenols that will help keep your mind sharp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Incorporate one-half cup of blueberries into your diet every day to prevent cell-structure damage and prevent the loss of firmness in your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomegranate<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

It should come as no surprise that pomegranate is an essential fruit when it comes to anti-aging and softening your skin so that it looks and feels years younger.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pomegranate is a top ingredient in many shakes, smoothies and vitamin-based drinks as well as many anti-aging and weight loss <\/span>recipes because of the high levels of ellagic acid and punicalagin, found in its seeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ellagic acid is a compound that fights damage from free radicals while punicalagin is a super nutrient that helps boost collagen production and connective tissue – both of which will give your skin a soft, plump and smooth look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/u><\/strong> Try to incorporate more than pomegranate juice. Consider purchasing seeds that you can sprinkle into foods and recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kale, Spinach or Swiss Chard<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

When it comes to firming up that loose skin and minimizing wrinkles, take your pick between these three power foods.<\/span><\/p>\n

These vital veggies include special phytonutrients that help protect your skin from sun damage, while fueling your body with antioxidant compounds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spinach is loaded with beta-carotene, a powerful nutrient that has been proven to improve overall skin elasticity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/u><\/strong> Try to include 3-4 cups of kale, spinach or Swiss chard into your daily diet. Replace iceberg or romaine lettuce with spinach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Swiss chard leaves, as well as Kale, are loaded with chlorophyll, a super nutrient that can block the effects of cancer-causing chemicals!<\/span><\/p>\n

Love the Skin You\u2019re In<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

When it comes to reducing skin redness, fine lines and wrinkles, there are a handful of super-foods and nutrient-based supplements that you\u2019ll want to begin incorporating into your diet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Top Foods for Reducing Fine Lines & Wrinkles<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Watercress<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Watercress is known to increase the circulation and delivery of nutrients and minerals throughout your body. This means improved oxygenation of the skin which will subsequently reduce fine lines and wrinkles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/u><\/strong> Add a handful of watercress to a salad 3-4 times a week for maximum results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Papaya<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are few superfoods quite as effective at boosting skin elasticity as papaya. They include a ton of antioxidants as well as other important vitamins and minerals that will make your skin look smoother.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of these vitamins include: Vitamins A, C, E and K as well as magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Papaya is often found in skin masks and cosmetics because of its ability to help your body shed dead cells while working at helping to reduce inflammation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Incorporating just 2-3 cups of papaya into your weekly diet will help you experience the many benefits of this power fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Avocado<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Known for its high levels of Vitamin A and B-complex, avocado is one of the best fruits for nourishing and moisturizing the skin. It\u2019s also a popular snack for those looking to lose weight as it is not only healthy but it will make you feel fuller for longer periods of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top Foods for Increased Collagen Production<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

While your body is constantly at work, creating new collagen, somewhere around the age of 30-35 years old, collagen levels begin to taper off. <\/span><\/p>\n

Worse, the quality of collagen being produced is not as high as when you were younger.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means that you need to take measures to incorporate foods and supplements into your life, as well as topical products if possible, that support and promote the production of new collagen on a regular basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few foods that will help restore and repair damaged <\/span>collagen while priming your body so you are also able to regenerate collagen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Bell Peppers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

These peppers are packed with antioxidants which are incredibly important when it comes to reversing the signs of aging. <\/span><\/p>\n

They contain high levels of Vitamin C as well as carotenoids, an incredibly powerful antioxidant.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reason why antioxidants are so effective at looking and feeling younger is because they aid in skin repair, while also reducing inflammation and cleaning up reactive free radicals that can cause serious damage to our DNA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many antioxidants also work to stimulate the production of collagen which will help smooth out your skin while giving you a youthful glow.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find antioxidants in many different products including cosmetics, dietary supplements and even sunscreen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/u><\/strong> Slice 1 cup of red bell peppers and dip them in Greek yogurt or hummus as a healthy, on-the-go snack.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fish<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fish, such as salmon, haddock and tuna are loaded with omega-3 fatty acid which is imperative when it comes to regenerating collagen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red Veggies<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already mentioned how red bell peppers are an effective way of boosting collagen levels but don\u2019t overlook all the other red veggies as many of them are equally as powerful including tomatoes and beets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Red vegetables contain the potent antioxidant lycopene which not only works as a natural sunscreen, but it works towards increasing collagen levels in your body.<\/span><\/p>\n

Soy<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Quite simply, soy blocks the aging process. You can get your fill of soy from products like soy milk, tofu or cheese so do your best to work some of these foods into your diet.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering why soy is so helpful at slowing down the aging process, it\u2019s because it contains genistein, a plant-based hormone that blocks MMP enzymes which age the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anti Aging Secret Weapon<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

The truth is, the secret to reducing the signs of aging all come down to one thing: eating healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buying expensive creams or paying for treatments will only go so far and typically they are temporary which means you\u2019d need to pay again and again just to maintain that youthful look.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, with a healthy diet that includes foods rich in antioxidants and nutrients, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a youthful look while feeling beautiful inside and out for many years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tips:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Avoid Inflammatory Foods<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cut out inflammatory foods such as fast foods as well as sugar, dairy and gluten. They all increase inflammation which speeds up <\/span>the signs of aging. In addition, avoid processed foods whenever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stay Hydrated<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure you\u2019re drinking plenty of water in order to keep your skin looking smooth and healthy. The more hydrated your skin is, the healthier and younger you\u2019ll look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Incorporate Omega Fatty Acids into your Diet<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Fatty acids, such as flaxseeds, chia seeds, coconut oil and avocado are all great choices when it comes to keeping your skin hydrated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consume Protein<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the reasons we get wrinkles is due to losing collage and elastin in our skin. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the easiest ways to avoid losing elasticity is to consume proteins that contain amino acids. <\/span><\/p>\n

These powerful protein sources will help to repair skin damage and prevent premature aging.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can find amino acids in foods like fish, grains, seeds and nuts. And you may be surprised to discover that tofu is yet another great source of amino acids.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drink Rooibos Tea<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Consuming this tea will fuel your body with important polyphenols which help protect your skin from premature aging, as well as excessive wrinkles. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also a great alternative to coffee!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip:<\/u><\/strong> Replace your daily coffee with rooibos tea a few times a week. Coffee is known to dehydrate your skin so choosing rooibos tea as a substitute will help minimize that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Focus on Citrus<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Citrus fruits like oranges, tangerines, grapefruits and lemons are all rich in Vitamin C, but they also help amino acids transform into much-needed collagen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Words<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

When it comes to reversing the signs of aging as well as minimizing unsightly wrinkles, red skin or fine lines, there are many ways you can do this without surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choosing a healthy diet is the most important decision you will make when it comes to looking and feeling younger on the inside out.<\/span><\/p>\n

This special report has provided you with a starter list of foods and supplements to get you started, but you\u2019ll want to continue your research so you can incorporate as many super-foods and anti-aging protein and mineral sources into your diet as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n
